A large majority of the 2,000 women surveyed would never let on to their partner if they were wearing body-slimming underwear or if they removed hard skin from feet.

The study shows many ladies would hate their partner to know they had to remove hairs from their noses on occasion, while others don't want him to know they often treat spots with toothpaste, or whiten their teeth.

Women wear chicken fillet pads in their bras - but would never let on to their partner

Many claim their other half has no idea they wear chicken fillets in their bra, or have to exfoliate daily.

And for those women who like to maintain a younger appearance, no mention is made of the anti-aging moisturisers and anti-cellulite creams they apply on a nightly basis.

Having eyelashes and eyebrows tinted, cleansing and toning and the application of face packs are other beauty essentials the average man has no clue their partner bothers with.

'A third of women think their partner would be absolutely mortified if their partner knew the true extent of their regime'

Two thirds of ladies polled reckon their partner is blissfully unaware of what is involved in their beauty routine - with a third keeping it all a closely guarded secret.

In fact, a third of women think their partner would be absolutely mortified if he knew the true extent of what took place behind the bathroom door for half an hour every day.

And 35 per cent believe their boyfriend or husband would be completely turned off if he saw them doing their most intimate grooming.

A fifth of women say it doesn't matter how comfortable they get with a partner, they will never ever let him know how much effort goes into looking good.
